Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. An apparatus comprising: a quick response control code (QRCC) redirector module to identify a quick response (QR) image; a QR code module coupled with the QRCC redirector module, the QR code module to: identify, based on a QRCC tag in the QR image, a QRCC in the image; and identify a control command of the apparatus based on the QRCC; and a manageability engine coupled with the QR code module, the manageability engine to: perform the control command; and authenticate, using a security parameter of a QR code encryption algorithm, the QRCC.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the QR code module comprises a QR code reader module to identify the QRCC tag and a QRCC translator to identify the control command.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the QR code module is to identify the control command based on a comparison of the QRCC with a dictionary of command codes of the apparatus.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the security parameter is a pin, a serial number of a device, or a private key.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the control command is a control command to reboot the apparatus, a control command related to security of the apparatus, a control command related to configuration of the apparatus, a control command to reset the apparatus, or a control command to perform recovery of the apparatus.
6. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a camera coupled with the QRCC redirector module, the camera to capture the image.
7. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media comprising instructions to cause a computing device, upon execution of the instructions by one or more processors of the computing device, to: identify a quick response command code (QRCC) tag in a quick response (QR) image; authenticate the QRCC using a security parameter of a QR code encryption algorithm; identify, based on the QRCC tag, a QRCC of the computing device; and facilitate performance of a control command by the computing device based on the QRCC.
8. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 7 , wherein the security parameter is a pin, a serial number of a device, or a private key.
9. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 7 , wherein the control command is a control command to reboot the computing device, a control command related to security of the computing device, a control command related to configuration of the computing device, a control command to reset the computing device, or a control command to perform recovery of the computing device.
10. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 7 , wherein the instructions further comprise instructions to identify the control command based on a comparison of the QRCC with a dictionary of control commands of the computing device.
11. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 10 , wherein the instructions to facilitate performance of the control command include instructions to forward the control command to a manageability engine of the computing device.
12. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 7 , wherein the computing device is communicatively decoupled from a data network.
13. A method comprising: identifying, by an apparatus, a quick response command code (QRCC) based on a QRCC tag in a quick response (QR) image captured or received by the apparatus; authenticating the QRCC with a security parameter of a QR code encryption algorithm; identifying, by the apparatus, a control command based on the QRCC; and performing, by the apparatus, the identified control command.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the security parameter is a pin, a serial number of a device, or a private key.
15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the control command is a control command to reboot the apparatus, a control command related to security of the apparatus, a control command related to configuration of the apparatus, a control command to reset the apparatus, or a control command to perform recovery of the apparatus.
16. The method of claim 13 , wherein identifying the control command includes comparing, by the apparatus, the QRCC with a dictionary of control commands of the apparatus; and identifying, by the apparatus and based on the comparing, the control command.
17. The method of claim 16 , wherein facilitating performance of the control command includes performing, by the apparatus, an action indicated by the control command.
18. The method of claim 13 , wherein the apparatus is communicatively decoupled from a data network.
